Buthaina Al-Nasiri
Hello, darling Mag.
Raised yet a white flag?
I promised, didn't I? to send
A poem to you, my friend.
First, I’d like to tell
That all here is well.
Of experts, we have more
than we ever had before.
Michael is the king
Supervising everything.
What about the people there?
Beside you, Mona and Claire?
Oh! have you got Marlene?
Or has she ever been seen,
Around the office again,
Looking for some gain?
Anyway, be at peace.
In matters such as these,
We, women, will unite
To defend sisters’ right.
